burners set on “HI” is a follows:
• 30” Grill 71,000 BTU
• 42” Grill 101,500 BTU
• 56” Grill w/ side burners 136,500 BTU
• Dual Side Burners 35,000 BTU
The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, to the
national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1a-1988. Installation in Canada must be in accordance with the Stan-

L.P. TANK REQUIREMENTS:
Use only a standard 20 Lb. (5 Gal.) propane gas cylinder (18-1/4” H x 12-1/4” Ø). The tank must be in-
stalled in the upright position. Do not use a dented or rusty LP tank as it may be hazardous and should
be checked by your LP supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. The LP gas cylinder must
be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Transportation (DOT). The cylinder must be provided with a shut off valve terminating in an LP
gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection type QCC1 in the standard for
compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connections ANSI/CGA-V-I.
LP GAS CONNECTION:
Your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill for use with LP gas comes equipped with its own regulator, which
MUST NOT be removed. There is also a secondary high capacity, hose/regulator assembly for connec-
tion to a standard 20 Lb. LP cylinder. The LP gas pressure regulator and hose supplied with this unit
must be used without alteration.
If this assembly needs to be replaced use only the type specified by ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill for this
appliance. 30” grills require a 90,000 BTU minimum regulator / hose assembly. All other sizes require a
160,000 BTU minimum two-stage regulator / hose assembly.
To connect the regulator / hose assembly follow the next steps:
1. Locate the regulator and gas connection point in the
rear right side of your BBQ unit (remove the rear panel
from the BBQ cart to gain access - in cart mounted
models).
2. Attach a 1/2” FPT x 1/2” MPT (male-to-female) elbow to
the regulator (see figure # 2).
3. Fasten the hose connection to a 1/2” MPT x 3/8” COMP
(compression flare fitting) connected to the elbow (see
figure # 2).
